Spending time outdoors is essential for the physical and mental well-being of all individuals and communities. In youth particularly, it helps to reduce stress, improve mood, and boost creativity. It also teaches them the importance of conservation and stewardship of our natural resources.

In addition, being outdoors can help us to develop important life values such as resilience, grit, and perseverance. When we face challenges in the natural world, we learn to adapt and overcome them. We also learn to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world around us.

We encourage you to get outside and experience the many benefits that nature has to offer.
